Donald Trump, who predicted three years ago that if Democratic President Joe Biden won the White House in 2020 markets would crash, said on Sunday that sharemarkets hitting record highs were just making “rich people richer”.
Mr Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination, often took credit for a rising sharemarket when he was president between 2017 and 2021. He was mocked by Mr Biden last week for wrongly predicting a crash when they campaigned against each other in 2020.
